The Six Flags Magic Mountain (SFMM) Discussion Thread

[Sidra]

You should have seen my 8 year old yesterday. She got on, front row, one of the Six Flags Managers Donald said we could ride again after the first ride... she's got her 'I'm brave, but scared' face on. She straps in fine, grabs my hand like she does every new coaster and holds on tight. We take off, I'm loving it, she squeezing and holding on for dear life. We're zooming back to the station and all she says, very loudly and very fast, repeating over and over again, "I dont want to ride again! I dont want to ride again!" I had to laugh, but that poor child, as soon as they unlocked the restraints she was up and trying to climb over the other two people that were next to us that we didn't even know, scrambling to get off as if they were about to launch it again.

 

I wont make her ride it again, its the fastest she's ever been of course, but she promises she'll try again for WCB. We'll see... there's a funnel cake in for her if she does it without tears.

Man now I DO wish I rode it, and i'll be honest, I didn't go on when I was 13 because I was kinda scared (even though the first thing I rode that day was X2, in the third to last car of the train! Which was awesome by the way) I was such a little bitch back then haha !

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

This whole project has me intrigued. Perhaps I may break down and give this ride a true second chance after all the psitive reviews it's gotten.

[Trevannosaurus Rex]

Nice to see it going up the tower. I've only rode it the once and I thought it was ok but nothing special. Of course it wasn't travelling at full speed, so I'm looking forward to the beefed up version. The drop face first sounds fun as well.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^I agree, I rode it once originally at full speed, and thought it was really cool, but after it went to crap, I lost interest. After all these positive reviews, I may take back alot of the the skepticism I had of this project.

Serious question here, nothing sarcastic:

 

How long does it usually take to assemble a kiddie coaster?

[ABW]

I few weeks I'd say for this one here. Nothing I would think that couldn't be completely assembled by West Coast Bash.

Happy that I'm going to Magic Mountain at the end of March, I'm glad that I had the chance to ride the original so I can see how much the ride really has improved!

[Brisal73]

It looks awesome... why do I have a feeling that WCB will have Superman going forward and backward for evening ERT.

Ok... if not this year maybe next year

Apparently it takes at least a year and a half.

[GLund]

Has anyone received a response email from the Park regarding the Superman: Escape from Krypton commercial they're shooting on Thursday? I'm wondering if I missed the chance.

[Sidra]

I'm sure its very selective. They only need 20 people or so probably and I know employees got the chance to sign up if it was their day off.

[Gav]

I see what you did there Robb.

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

I'm glad it's so much better! S:TE always seemed like a ride that had never reached its full potential, but now it's looking a lot better!

[robbalvey]

^^ I don't get it.

[DJeXeL]

Robb, How was your experience on S:EFK?

Maybe this will help.

Usually to see the last major update in a thread, look at the sub text under the thread title. This place is pretty active so things usually get buried but they do a good job at labeling the last big update.

[willthethrill]

I see what you did there Robb.

Problem, OTSRs?

[StuckinNorCal]

There is going to more "themeing" to the cars, right?

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^^ I don't get it.

 

Maybe this will help.

So you're sayig he looks like Mac Tonight?

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

^Just trying to explain the "Troll Face" meme that got referenced.

[ebl]

^^ I totally forgot about Mac Tonite. Maybe because he was...forgettable?

 

Just looking at that picture of Robb sitting with the OTSR restraint pulled down made me realize how closely they fit over your neck. I had no problem using them when I rode, and thought these would be nice for other rides.
